every time least is getting 101-'e' as the value. and not llo
as the statement
least = (*ptr<least ) ?(*ptr) :(least);

is equivalent to
if(*ptr<least)
least=*ptr;

so firstly it compares 127 with 'e' and least ='e'
in next iteration , it compares l and e, so agn least = 'e'
in next iteration , it compares l and e, so agn least = 'e'
in next iteration , it compares o and e, so agn least = 'e'
in next iteration , it compares null and e, so  least = 0

i hope this will clarify your doubts
